The Sun Online can reveal Dapper Laughs is entering the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday night

A source said: “Dapper Laughs is going to make great TV and he’s definitely going to spice things up in the house.

“It’s been a pretty bland series so far so they definitely need him in there to ruffle some feathers with the ladies.”

The comedian, who hails from Clapham in London, retreated from the spotlight after his show – On The Pull – was dropped by ITV in 2014 and his dad Pat died in 2016.

He came under fire after he joked that a female audience member was “gagging for a rape” during one of his stand-up routines and more than 50,000 people signed a petition calling for his show to be axed.
